Maven Quickstart Archetypes

[Jonathan Gallimore-2]

Hi All,

I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I've been playing around a
bit with Maven Archetypes, and I created a couple of quickstart archetypes
for OpenEJB. One creates a simple EJB project, complete with a simple
stateless bean, a unit test, includes all the necessary dependencies and
will add the right Eclipse WTP configuration to work with the OpenEJB
Eclipse Plugin. The other does the same for a complete EAR project. The
latter still needs a bit of work (and I'd quite like to add the functional
testing stuff I wrote about here:
http://openejb.apache.org/functional-testing-with-openejb-jetty-and-selenium.html)
but I thought I'd post them up in case anyone had any comments.

Currently I've deployed a mini-repository on my website with the necessary
stuff, and you can generate a project by doing the following:

$ mvn -DarchetypeCatalog=http://jrg.me.uk/repository/ -DarchetypeRepository=
http://jrg.me.uk/repository/ archetype:generate (the trailing / on the URL
is necessary for some reason)

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.

[INFO] [archetype:generate]

(org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0)
Choose archetype:
1: http://jrg.me.uk/repository/ -> maven-openejb-quickstart
(maven-openejb-quickstart)
2: http://jrg.me.uk/repository/ -> maven-openejb-quickstart-ear
(maven-openejb-quickstart-ear)
Choose a number:  (1/2):

Once you've followed the wizard, you should be able to cd to the newly
created project, and run:

$ mvn install eclipse:eclipse

This should compile everything, run the tests and create an Eclipse project
ready to be imported to your workspace.

I've put some source code up here: http://jrg.me.uk/assets/quickstart.zip -
I'm more than happy to check it into SVN if anyone thinks its useful. Any
comments will be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Jon

Hey,

A generic archetypes for only OpenEJB would be really useful. Just one for
an OpenEJB embedded client - where you get a sample EJB, the dependencies
and a unit test that loads up the embedded container. Many times i find
myself just wanting to create a quick project for trying/testing something.
Such an archetype would save a lot of time.

I've never done this, so the source code in quickstart.zip. Does that
contain everything I would need to make such an archetype?

Hi Quintin,

I think my quickstart archetype will do everything you're after - it's
gives you a sample ejb and test using the embedded container with all
the dependencies.

If you give it a go, I'd love to know how you get on and if there's
anything else you'd like to see in there - I'd quite like to get it
working with your new test runner.
